Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of auxiliary prediction and evaluation of in vitro fertilization pregnancy probability for assisted reproduction, and in particular, relates to a system for auxiliary prediction and evaluation of in vitro fertilization pregnancy probability based on androgen response elasticity. Background Art

[0002] In the field of assisted reproduction, the success rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment is closely related to the subject's ovarian response, androgen levels, and other physiological factors. In ovulation induction treatment, the GnRHa (gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor agonist) long protocol is one of the common ovarian stimulation methods, which is used to increase the number of available mature eggs, thereby increasing the probability of successful conception. However, there are significant differences in the response of the ovaries of different patients to ovulation-inducing drugs, and ovarian function or response may be affected by hormone levels.

[0003] At present, the evaluation of ovarian function and the prediction of IVF success rate mainly rely on the age of the subjects, antral follicle count (AFC), anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) level determination, basal follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level determination and other methods. However, these indicators mainly reflect the ovarian reserve function, indicating that they represent the fertility differences of the group, and cannot predict the individual probability of pregnancy through ovulation induction and assisted pregnancy. For example, many literatures have found that the level of AMH cannot predict the IVF pregnancy outcome. The latest research shows that for women with AMH levels within the normal range, the dynamic changes in androgen levels can accurately predict the pregnancy outcome in the GnRHa long-term treatment. Appropriate androgen levels can promote follicular development and improve the quality of eggs, which has potential value for improving IVF results. At the same time, in the past, clinicians combined their own experience and, for subjects with normal AMH levels, mostly chose different treatment plans under the long ovulation induction program to adjust androgen levels to improve ovarian response and fertility potential based on androgen levels. There is a certain degree of subjectivity and lack of clear quantitative indicators. In summary, there is currently a lack of effective methods to assess an individual's sensitivity to androgens and their effects on ovarian function, which limits the application and development of androgen levels in the field of assisted reproduction. Summary of the invention

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0041] The drawings constituting a part of the present application are used to provide a further understanding of the present application. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present application are used to explain the present application and do not constitute an improper limitation on the present application. In the drawings:

[0042] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the system structure of an embodiment of the present invention;

[0043] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the accuracy evaluation results of in vitro fertilization pregnancy outcomes based on different evaluation methods based on different data according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0045] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowcharts of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and that, although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0046] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, especially for subjects with normal anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels, there is a lack of a system for assisting in predicting and evaluating the probability of in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy during ovarian stimulation. The system provided by the present invention particularly relates to a system for evaluating the androgen response elasticity of subjects under a long ovulation induction program and the probability of in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy during ovarian stimulation. The system can be used to evaluate the androgen response elasticity level of the subject to evaluate their ovarian fertility potential; and predict the probability of in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy during ovarian stimulation of the subject to evaluate whether the fertility potential of the subject is improved after the corresponding androgen response ability treatment.

[0047] The present invention first calculates the androgen response elasticity index according to the androgen levels of the subjects at different stages, and combines the age to assist in predicting the probability of in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy during ovarian stimulation. Then, based on the numerical range of the default IVF pregnancy probability pre-stored in the system, an auxiliary prediction and evaluation of the outcome of the long ovulation induction intervention program for the subjects is performed to provide auxiliary suggestions for potential clinical intervention methods.

[0048] like Figure 1 Specifically, the present invention includes the following contents:

[0049] The system for auxiliary prediction and evaluation of IVF pregnancy probability includes: a data acquisition module, an androgen response elasticity calculation module;

[0050] The data collection module is used to obtain the age and androgen levels of the subjects at different stages. The androgen levels of the subjects at different stages include the initial testosterone level (T0) in the venous serum of female subjects on any day, the serum testosterone level when the follicle diameter is 10-12 mm (T 10-12 ), serum testosterone level on the day of HCG injection (T HCG );

[0051] The module for calculating androgen response elasticity (TRE) is used to calculate the above information obtained in the data acquisition module, so as to predict the androgen response elasticity (TRE) of the subject and the probability p of in vitro fertilization pregnancy during ovarian stimulation.

[0052] It should be noted that the above-mentioned system for auxiliary prediction and evaluation of in vitro fertilization pregnancy probability of the present invention is suitable for subjects with normal anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels.

[0053] In the module for calculating androgen response elasticity, the androgen response elasticity is calculated based on the androgen levels at different stages obtained by the data collection module. The androgen response elasticity and age are combined to predict the probability of in vitro fertilization pregnancy p during ovarian stimulation. p is used to predict the outcome of long-term ovulation induction intervention.

[0054] In the module for calculating androgen response elasticity, data on the subject's age and androgen level at different stages are graded and assigned, and the graded assignment results are used to calculate the subject's in vitro fertilization pregnancy probability p.

[0055] In the module for calculating androgen response elasticity, the subject's age is not used directly for calculation. Instead, the subject's age is assigned a five-level grade, that is, the subject's age is divided into five levels, namely: subject's age ≤ 30, 30 < subject's age ≤ 35, 36 < subject's age ≤ 40, 40 < subject's age ≤ 42, 42 ≤ subject's age.

[0056] Re-determine the result of the graded assignment of the subject's age according to the five-level graded assignment of the subject's age.

[0057] When the subject is 30 years old or younger, Age is 0;

[0058] When the subject’s age is greater than 30 years and 35 years and below, Age is 1;

[0059] When the subject’s age was greater than 35 years and 40 years and below, Age was 2;

[0060] When the subject’s age was greater than 40 years and 42 years and below, Age was 3;

[0061] When the subject is 43 years and older, Age is 4.

[0062] In the module for calculating androgen response elasticity, data on androgen levels of subjects at different stages based on an existing multi-center database and a formula for calculating androgen response elasticity TRE are pre-stored.

[0063] The formula is as follows:

[0064]

[0065] The formula is the following formula 2:

[0066]

[0067] Wherein, TRE1 and TRE2 represent different parameters calculated for characterizing the androgen response elasticity of the subject, which are the first androgen response elasticity parameter and the second androgen response elasticity parameter, respectively, wherein T0 is the serum testosterone level in the initial stage, T 10-12 The diameter of the follicle is 10-12 mm. The serum testosterone level is T HCG The data of serum testosterone level on the day of HCG injection. The unit of testosterone level is ng / mL, which needs to be converted according to the unit of clinical test.

[0068] In the module for calculating androgen response elasticity, the androgen response elasticity of the subject is not directly used to calculate the IVF pregnancy probability, but the androgen response elasticity parameter is assigned a fourth-order grade. Among them, for different fourth-order androgen response elasticity parameters at different numerical levels, the corresponding androgen response elasticity parameter graded assignment results TRE1' and TRE2' are re-determined:

[0069] When the calculated first androgen response elasticity parameter TRE1<0.5, TRE1' is 1; when TRE2<0.75, TRE2' is 1;

[0070] When the calculated androgen response elasticity is 0.5≤TRE1<1.0, TRE1' is 2; when 0.75≤TRE2<1.50, TRE2' is 2;

[0071] When the calculated androgen response elasticity is 1.0≤TRE1<1.5, TRE1' is 3; when 1.50≤TRE2<2.25, TRE2' is 3;

[0072] When the calculated androgen response elasticity is 1.5≤TRE1, TRE1' is 4; when 2.25≤TRE2, TRE2' is 4.

[0073] Based on the above-mentioned converted parameters, the present invention provides a method for predicting the probability p of in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy during ovarian stimulation of a subject under a long assisted reproductive ovulation program, and the pregnancy probability p is used to evaluate whether the fertility potential of the subject is improved after the corresponding androgen responsiveness treatment.

[0074] In the module for calculating androgen response elasticity, a formula for predicting the in vitro fertilization pregnancy probability p of a subject is pre-stored, which is fitted based on the subject's age in an existing multi-center database and the graded assignment results of the calculated androgen response elasticity TRE.

[0075] The formula is the following formula 3:

[0076]

[0077] Wherein, p is the calculated value used to characterize the probability of pregnancy in in vitro fertilization (IVF) during ovarian stimulation; Age is the graded assignment result of the subject's age; TRE1' and TRE2' are the graded assignment results of the first androgen response elasticity parameter and the graded assignment results of the second androgen response elasticity parameter, respectively, where β0, β1, β2 and β3 are fitting parameters of different items;

[0078] The fitted parameters in the association between the graded assignment results and the probability of pregnancy are:

[0079] The value space of β0 is [-0.889, 1.544]; the value space of β1 is [-1.498, -0.456]; the value space of β2 is [0.152, 1.799]; the value space of β3 is [-0.947, 0.154].

[0080] The formula for predicting the in vitro fertilization pregnancy probability p of a subject, which is fitted based on the hierarchical assignment results pre-stored based on the subject data in the existing multi-center database, has the following values: β0=0.4311; β1=-0.8956; β2=0.7938; β3=-0.2938.

[0081] The system for auxiliary prediction and evaluation of in vitro fertilization pregnancy probability of the present invention also includes a prediction module, in which a default numerical range of in vitro fertilization pregnancy probability is pre-stored, and based on the numerical range, the calculated in vitro fertilization pregnancy probability p is divided into numerical ranges or the numerical ranges are defined, so as to predict the outcome of the long ovulation induction program intervention.

[0082] In the numerical range pre-stored in the prediction module, the predicted outcome of the long ovulation induction intervention program is output according to the following standards:

[0083] When the calculated IVF pregnancy probability p for predicting the subject is ≥ 80%, the prediction module determines that the subject has an excellent outcome for the long ovulation induction program intervention;

[0084] When the calculated IVF pregnancy probability for predicting the subject is 65%≤p<80%, the prediction module determines that the subject has a good outcome of the long ovulation induction program intervention;

[0085] When the calculated IVF pregnancy probability for predicting the subject is 50%≤p<65%, the prediction module determines that the subject has a medium outcome of the long ovulation induction program intervention;

[0086] When the calculated IVF pregnancy probability p for predicting the subject is less than 50%, the prediction module determines that the subject has a poor outcome of the long ovulation induction intervention protocol.

[0097] In this experimental example, the androgen response elasticity TRE1 and TRE2 of the above 109 subjects were calculated according to Formula 1 and Formula 2 respectively, and reassigned according to the fourth-order androgen response elasticity parameter grading assignment standard for calculating the subjects' in vitro fertilization pregnancy probability p.

[0098] 4.3 Fitting and calculating the IVF pregnancy probability p of the subject

[0099] In this embodiment, the ages and androgen response elasticity TRE values ​​of 109 subjects were reclassified and scored, and the values ​​used to characterize the probability of pregnancy during in vitro fertilization (IVF) during ovarian stimulation were fitted and calculated in combination with the data previously stored in the existing multi-center database and the pregnancy outcomes. The fitted parameters in the association between the classification assignment results and the probability of pregnancy were obtained as follows:

[0100] The value space of β0 is [-0.889, 1.544]; the value space of β1 is [-1.498, -0.456]; the value space of β2 is [0.152, 1.799]; the value space of β3 is [-0.947, 0.154].

[0101] In this embodiment, the values ​​of the parameters of the fitted formula for predicting the in vitro fertilization pregnancy probability p of the subject are: β0=0.4311; β1=-0.8956; β2=0.7938; β3=-0.2938.

[0109] Combined with Figure 2 The accuracy evaluation results of IVF pregnancy outcomes based on different data and different evaluation methods are shown in the figure. Figure 2 A in the middle is the accuracy evaluation result of Age and AMH in assessing the in vitro fertilization pregnancy outcomes of subjects. Figure 2 B in the figure is the accuracy evaluation result of androgen response elasticity indexes TRE1 and TRE2 in assessing the in vitro fertilization pregnancy outcomes of subjects.

In the above evaluation results, the evaluation was performed through the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), where the solid line represents the corresponding receiver operating characteristic curve, the dotted line corresponds to 50% accuracy, and its AUC is the peak area under the curve.

[0110] The above results show that compared with the traditional use of AMH and age as predictive indicators of IVF pregnancy outcomes, androgen response elasticity and age are more suitable for predicting IVF pregnancy outcomes.

[0127] 3. Data analysis: This study used serum testosterone levels at different stages to calculate a new index of androgen response elasticity. Female age was re-graded into five levels. Serum testosterone and AMH factors were continuous variables. The calculated androgen response elasticity parameter index was graded into four levels. The predicted probability of IVF pregnancy p of the subject was a continuous variable, and the pregnancy outcome after long ovulation induction intervention was the prediction quality result corresponding to the four numerical intervals. The pregnancy outcomes used for model construction and verification included success and failure.
